Convert a single mixed ink swatch to a process color

You can convert mixed inks to process colors to reduce printing costs. When you convert the parent of a mixed ink

group to process, the parent swatch disappears, and the other swatches in the mixed ink group are converted to process

colors.

1 Double-click the mixed ink swatch you want to convert.

2 For Color Type, select Process, and then click OK.

Convert all inks in a mixed ink group to process

❖ Double-click the parent of the mixed ink group, and select Convert Mixed Ink Swatches To Process in the

dialog box that appears.

Using colors from imported graphics

InDesign provides various ways for you to sample and redefine colors from the graphics you import into your

document. Spot colors from placed PDF or EPS files and spot-color channels in Adobe Photoshop (PSD) and TIFF

files appear as spot colors in the Swatches panel. You can apply these colors to objects in your document or convert

them to process colors; however, you cannot redefine the color values or delete the imported swatches. If you delete

the placed graphic, the colors remain but are converted to native InDesign colors, which can then be edited or deleted.

Using the Eyedropper tool to sample colors

You can use the Eyedropper tool to add colors from imported graphics to your document, or to apply them to

objects in your document. This is useful for coordinating layout colors with images.

For best results with color separations, you may want to make sure that color names, types (such as spot and process),

and models (such as RGB and CMYK) of the colors sampled in InDesign are consistent with the color definitions in

the imported graphics. If you’re not sure about the best settings to use, consult with your prepress service provider.

Working with spot-color channels in an Adobe Photoshop (PSD) file

When you place a native Photoshop file (PSD) or TIFF file in InDesign, any spot-color channels the file contains

appear in the Swatches panel as spot-color inks. You can select and apply these swatches to other objects in your

document; to delete these swatches, however, you must first delete the placed image.

If you import a file that has a spot-color channel with the same name as a spot color in your document, but with

different color values, you will be asked whether you want to use the color values in the placed file or the ones in the

document.

Working with colors from EPS or PDF files

When you place a PDF file, EPS graphic, or Adobe Illustrator (.AI) file, names of spot colors used in the graphic are

added to the Swatches panel in your document, so that you can be aware that they can cause additional printing costs

later, and also so that you can use the spot colors in your document.
